IMHO an FMIC is just as important as turboback especially in a stage 2 tune. If you think about how hot that charge air is gonna be at a 15-18psi (speculating) stage 2 tune and the fact that the stock IC is designed to be efficient at 8.8psi. You might be pushing 18psi on the stage two tune, but the thing about turbo's is it's not just about psi it's about air density and we all know cooler air is denser. That's why with all things equal an upgraded turbo can make equal power @ say 12psi to a stock turbo @ 16psi.

Yeah right lol. FMIC really helps out quite a bit especially when running higher boost. My stock FMIC was getting heatsoaked in no time with just a JB4 and catless downpipes. I had no choice but to upgrade it and it made all the difference in daily drivability.

I still stand that I will just wait until I see some trap speeds. I don't even care about ET as that is all driver, but trap speed at the end of the 1/4 is a good indicator of how much power the car is putting down and its consistent (although it may differ 1-2mph depending on the 60ft).

If the virtual dyno is so accurate then why using the same profile and weight does it tell me I'm making anywhere from 361whp to 470whp and almost 500wtq depending on which log I load, all same gear and parameters logged?

JB4 will make over 400whp on race gas or meth. I made 370whp on pump 93 with just a Helix intercooler, Raceland downpipes and JB4 on map 2 in hot ass Florida weather.

I think your power seems low , I heard Fbo with dci and 3 inch downpipes With full catless makes 400 whp??I saw some dynos doing this on YouTube and burger website..I think it makes over 430 with race and meth.

What kind of virtual dyno are you using?

I know for most open-source tuning for the Subaru-Mitsu community, a lot of tuners use the Virtual Boy. And from what I've seen VS. actual dyno numbers, it's pretty accurate. I guess there are a lot more factors to enter?

We taper boost past 5k due to the baby turbo guys. Pushing it hard up there is like spitting water though a straw. The exahust manifold pressure peaks at 45-55psi past 5.5k RPM when trying to run 18psi out there. The data says the turbos are out of air and will self descruct if you keep pushing it. Not something we want for a pump stage 2 or stage 2 + FMIC map. Stock turbos will run 18psi all day long in the lower RPM range.

Here is a run down of the maps Clap has:
Stage 2 - Requires downpipes with a recomendation for a intake and catback (especially the 135i and 535i)
Stage 2+FMIC - Requires downpipes and a FMIC with a heavy recomendation for a intake and catback (especially the 135i and 535i)

Each of these will come in the following flavors:
"Drive" as in a nice daily driver map for those that just want a little bump in power with stock rev limits.
"Sport" as in a sporty map with a bit more power than "Drive".
"Aggressive" as in a map that turns the car into a fire breathing hotrod (Recommended 93 Octane).

370-380whp on a dynojet is typical for a bolt on car depending on conditions. Show me one plot on pump gas making over 400whp on a dynojet and I'll give you a cookie. Hell, you can even browse the dyno compilation on e90post.com and see for yourself. You won't crack the 400whp with a jb4 or procede unless you run race gas or meth.
